I am a graduating student who just got offered 65k for a solution analyst role at Deloitte USDC (Data Engineering Focus). From reading previous posts it seems to be a lot of negative thoughts surrounding the USDC, but straight out of college is this a good opportunity?
I'm looking to gain as much experience as possible out of college in an IT role and wondering what exit opportunities may be in place a year or two down the road if there is little/slow progression.
Any Advice?

Having lived in Austin and visiting San Diego. I’d choose SD.

Moved from Chicago and we were in between Austin and San Diego. Visited both and picked San Diego. Zero regrets
San Diego is amazing! Such a fun city with lots to do. Also very expensive. It will not be the same comp living there after taxes etc 😬
You may have the best title so far on fishbowl. Nice work!
Wow! Looks like a slam dunk for San Diego. I had no idea there would be such a clear preference between the two locations. 😂🙈
Austin.
So hard. Austin, and fly to SD when you need to.
Taxes will do that to you.
For those calling out taxes, that’s correct. Big plus with Texas would be no state income tax. However, OP should consider this as it may not be as impactful to him/her depending on where they’re at in terms of salaries and compensation.
I would look at several factors including things to do, long term vs short term, etc. Austin may be a city that is still booming (crazy boom in the last 10 years BTW) while SD is quite mature
Agreed. Lots to consider!
Go to Austin for the BBQ, go to SD for everything else…that said, SD all the way

Classic Texas charm 😉
SD but not sure how it helps you what others pick for themselves.

SD, Austin is saturated in every industry and it’s too small.
San Diego. I like being able to walk to Mexico.

Where do you already have family/friends to make the move easier? Maybe let that impact your choice.
Personally would do Austin
The price you pay for no state taxes in Texas is living in Texas
Yes, this even includes cities like austin

San Diego. Texas is basically a developing country.

Take the oil away, and Texas is basically Alabama
Austin, CA is a total basket case.
